Visual Studio: auto attach to a process when the process is spawned

Question

I want to attach to a process(a.exe) as soon as it is spawned, is it doable with VS? I only know the name of the process. Actually what I want to accomplish is set a breakpo

Answer 1

I have been looking for some way to do this when I launch a console application within an acceptance test.

I found this today - https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudioalm/2014/11/24/introducing-the-child-process-debugging-power-tool/

It's an add-on to visual studio, and it works a treat. When I debug an acceptance test (I use resharper test runner) and place a breakpoint within the app that gets launched, I can now debug the app in the same visual studio instance.
